gringo_911:I promise to treat Obama with same respect that the liberals treated president Bush and the media treats Sarah Palin. Can you ask for more?
And I for one will only expect republicans to give Obama the same blind unquestioning obedience that they demanded everyone give Bush and accuse anyone who dares to question Obama's policies of being unpatriotic terrorist sympathizers who Want American To Fail (tm). :-)
Okay, In all seriousness, I gave Bush 100% of my support when he went after the people who attacked us on 9/11. I didn't take away my support until he abandoned that mission to chase his personal vendettas in Iraq. Even then, he could have regainned it if he hadn't completely botched the reconstruction and trampled on the Constitution. Bush could have had my support back when I was still in independent. He lost it by being a bad president and he pushed me into registering as a democrat.
I don't expect republicans to give up their poltiical views and obey Obama unquestioningly. But I do hope they take Christopher Buckley's advice and engage in some soul searching and realize how much their "party first" approach to governing has damaged this nation. Hopefully, one day, they'll become a party worth supporting again one day.
